So, this past weekend was my family reunion, and it was going great except for a mildly annoying tootheache that started on Friday night became progressively worse through Saturday. And the oppressive heat. But it was all good because I got to visit with some relatives I hadn't seen in about 10 years, which was awesome. And then Sunday morning rolls around and I wake up feeling like someone has maliciously, and with much gusto, nailed me in the mouth with an aluminum baseball bat. All sorts of stuff in my mouth is swollen up like a ballon and I'm sore as hell. So on Monday I went to the dentist and got some x-rays. The prognosis? An abcessed tooth the size of Texas. Not fun. So I go in for a root canal in a couple of hours. I can't say I'm excited about the root canal, but I'll be glad when it's all over. I'm hoping I won't have to get too hopped up on drugs once it's all over, but we'll see. My brother broke his collar bone not too long ago and he has some left over somewhere, so if I need it I'll just track it down.

In other news, this past weekend was my family reunion. Despite the oppresive sun that jacked the temperature up and made it nearly unbearable to sit outside, a great time was had by all and I got to catch up with some relatives I hadn't seen in years and years. I was picky about the food I ate due toothache, but I still got to partake of some delicious roasted pig on Saturday. And of course I drank some beer, because what is a Hast Family reunion without beer?
